Adrian Grant just arrived at the company. He received news from his subordinates. They said Raina Lowell and Alaric Jennings went out, but didn’t bring the child. Adrian Grant sat in the office chair, looking gloomy, not understanding why Raina and Alaric left the child at home and went out. Could it be that the two are going out on a date again, like before! Thinking about the cooperation project between the Grant and Everett companies. Several of the agreements were signed by Raina and him. Adrian Grant took out his phone and called Mr. Everett, asking Raina to come to his company over the project matter. Mr. Everett was well aware that Adrian Grant was up to his tricks again. Using work as an excuse to entangle his beloved daughter. He deliberately waited for a long time before calling Raina. But by then, Raina Lowell and Alaric Jennings had already left the civil affairs bureau. The two of them each held a marriage certificate, with mixed feelings. But Alaric Jennings was happy. No one could understand his joy of winning his beautiful bride, his handsome face unable to hide his smile. "To celebrate this wonderful day, Raina, I’m taking you somewhere." Finally, openly and rightfully, he held Raina’s hand, ready to take her to enjoy their world as a couple. Just as Raina Lowell was about to respond, her phone rang. She took out her phone and saw it was her father calling, without hesitation, she answered. On the call, Mr. Everett asked, "Raina, did you get the marriage certificate?" Raina Lowell responded with a ’mm’ sound. Mr. Everett first congratulated his daughter, then sighed and said: "Adrian Grant is at it again, acting crazy over the 8377 project, asking you to go to his company." Raina Lowell lowered her head, looking at Alaric Jennings holding her hand. Looking at the marriage certificates that they each held. Perhaps, it was time to let Adrian Grant know she was married. No matter what he does, there’s no possibility between them. The child would never play such a role for him. Raina Lowell knew, if her father had another way, he wouldn’t have made this call. Not wanting to make her father feel awkward, she agreed. When putting away her phone, she looked at Alaric Jennings and said: "Come with me to work, let’s finish the work first, then we’ll celebrate later." Since she decided to marry Alaric Jennings and chose to stay, she should put away those worries, calmly and peacefully, and manage this marriage well. Don’t repeat past mistakes. "Alright, I’m all ears." Alaric Jennings held Raina’s hand, walked down the steps, opened the car door, and personally drove her to Grant Tower. He thought Raina might still have worries and probably wouldn’t take him before Adrian Grant. He also didn’t want to put Raina in a difficult situation. Anyway, now that Raina is his wife, even if she returns to work with Adrian Grant, he wouldn’t mind. Who knew, before getting out of the car, Raina Lowell said: "Your work here isn’t settled yet, so in the meantime, accompany me, teach me how to navigate the business field." Between a couple, isn’t it about supporting each other? Father said Ethan Everett lacks focus, leaving him in charge of the company is worrisome. Ask her to be on equal footing with Ethan Everett, managing the company together in the future. Since choosing to stay, Raina Lowell felt she should take what her parents gave her. It’s also good for paving the way for Evelyn’s future. Alaric Jennings felt somewhat moved. Really didn’t expect Raina would be willing to include him while working. Even though knowing marrying him might be to prevent Adrian Grant from entangling or simply to spite Adrian Grant. But whatever she does, including him, still gave him great confidence in their marriage. The two got out of the car together, went to Adrian Grant’s office together. At this moment, Adrian Grant was busy in a meeting. After finishing the meeting and walking out of the conference room, Caleb Landon came over to report: "President, Miss Lowell has arrived, I let her wait in your office." He didn’t dare to mention that Mr. Jennings came along. Afraid the president would get angry and take it out on him. Adrian Grant wouldn’t have expected Raina to bring Alaric Jennings, he just wanted to return to the office with Raina for their private moment, so he sent Caleb Landon away to resume his work. However, when he opened the office door. Seeing the two sitting in front of the sofa made Adrian Grant’s handsome face sink faster than a pot bottom. But then thinking, Raina must have deliberately brought Alaric Jennings to anger him. He suppressed any discomfort, walked over fuming. "I want to discuss work, this is a business secret, who allowed you to bring him?" Adrian Grant walked over, directly expressing his discontent. Raina Lowell wasn’t accommodating, took the initiative to hold Alaric Jennings’s hand, honestly said: "Alaric and I are married, he will be involved in company matters in the future, there’s nothing he can’t know." Actually, saying this made Raina Lowell nervous. Afraid Adrian Grant might erupt and do something drastic. But thinking they’ve reached this point, and why be afraid of him anymore. Treat whatever comes accordingly. Adrian Grant was thunderstruck, eyes piercingly glaring at Raina’s hand holding Alaric’s, his heart suddenly twisting. Alaric Jennings took out the marriage certificate, smilingly said: "We came in a rush, didn’t bring candies for President Grant, that’s our oversight, but I think President Grant wouldn’t want to ask for a couple of wedding sweets." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 He grabbed Raina’s hand, fingers interlocking tightly. "Raina and I just went to the civil affairs office to get our marriage certificate, and then President Grant called us in to work. Since we know each other, why not give Raina a day off?" Adrian Grant looked at the bright red marriage certificate on the coffee table. Seeing Raina and Alaric Jennings with fingers intertwined, they really looked like a loving couple. He felt dazed and simply couldn’t accept it. He had just left in the morning. Did Raina go with Alaric to get the certificate by noon? Not believing what he was seeing, Adrian Grant stepped over and picked up the marriage certificate, flipping it open. When he confirmed it was Raina and Alaric’s names on it, today’s date, and the official stamp of the civil affairs office, Adrian Grant couldn’t suppress the turmoil in his chest any longer. He smashed the marriage certificate and looked at the two in front of him, his eyes burning with rage. "Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?" He fixed his gaze on Raina, unable to contain his anger, "Raina Lowell, did you marry him just to hurt me on purpose?" He had clearly told Raina before, if she dared to be with any other man, he would take Evelyn away. Why didn’t this woman listen to him? Why did she have to marry someone casually in such a short time? Adrian Grant tried to calm himself down. Acting impulsively wouldn’t solve the problem. It would also hurt Raina. He couldn’t do anything to make Raina angry again, or it would be even harder to reconcile with her. But still, his heart ached. Like being ripped apart with great force. "What do you mean by hurting you." Raina Lowell looked at him coolly, "If it weren’t for you calling me back to the country years ago, I would have been with Alaric long ago." "This time, Alaric stayed for me, and of course, I wouldn’t push him away again." "Adrian Grant, there’s nothing between us now, and I hope you don’t bring personal emotions into work." "Who told you there’s nothing between us?" Adrian Grant couldn’t take it anymore, and in a rage, grabbed Raina, his eyes bloodshot. "You’re the mother of my child, my true love. Without my permission, how dare you marry casually." His face contorted, his aura overwhelming. Like someone who wants to eat people. Alaric Jennings immediately stood up to prevent him from hurting Raina. "Adrian Grant, let go of Raina." "You’re goddamn living too comfortably." Adrian Grant’s expression darkened, and with a cruel heart, he turned and grabbed Alaric Jennings, beating him up. "You dare to want my person, how many lives have you got." He totally lost his mind, grabbing Alaric and beating him to a pulp. This time, Alaric Jennings didn’t want to put up with him anymore, clenched his fists, and fought back. The two men tussled with each other, the scene bloody and violent. Raina Lowell hurried to pull them apart. Until she held Alaric completely in her arms to protect him, the two men stopped fighting. Adrian Grant’s fist was still in mid-air. Watching Raina’s figure suddenly throw herself onto Alaric, his heart ached as if it were bleeding. This was the woman he loved in his heart. Now she was using her own body to protect another man. And even became another man’s wife. Adrian Grant didn’t know how he and Raina ended up . This wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted Raina to return to him with Evelyn. For the three of them to live happily together as a family. He didn’t want to see Raina become someone else’s wife, his son calling someone else dad. But faced with the current situation, how could he sort it out? Adrian Grant couldn’t watch Raina tenderly care for another man any longer. Leaving his office, with blood-stained fists, he suppressed his anger and instructed Caleb Landon: "Send people to The Everett Family immediately. I don’t care how many people you use, make sure to take my son and send him to the old residence." Caleb Landon nodded, noticing the president’s face swollen, with blood at the corner of his lips. He was a bit concerned, "President, are you okay? Should we get someone to treat you?" Thinking that only Miss Lowell and President Jennings were in the office, could it be President Jennings who hit him? President Jennings actually came to Grant Tower and dared to hit someone, does he not treasure his life anymore? Caleb Landon prepared to send people to teach Alaric Jennings a lesson, but Adrian Grant ignored him and strode away. Caleb Landon quickly turned back to the office, wanting to see what happened. He ended up seeing Raina Lowell holding the bloodied Alaric Jennings, who was even more severely injured, lying in Raina’s arms as if he was about to die. Without meddling, he first went to send people to take Evelyn to Grant Tower. Raina Lowell didn’t know why Adrian Grant was so ruthless, seeing that Alaric couldn’t even stand up properly. After calling an ambulance, she also reported it to the police. This time, she wouldn’t let Adrian Grant off the hook. The ambulance quickly arrived, urgently transporting Alaric Jennings to the hospital. Lying on the stretcher, seeing Raina crying out of distress for him. Though dizzy and feeling quite battered, Alaric still smiled to comfort her. "I’m fine, don’t worry about me." Raina Lowell’s face was full of guilt, her eyelashes still wet. "I’m sorry, if I hadn’t let you follow me, you wouldn’t have been beaten so badly." "I will make sure you get justice, at least let him stay in the detention center for a few days."
